I can confirm, this version of Mame OS X 0.135 Killer Instinct 1 (1.5d)& 2(1.4) is too slow to play.I too can not get the cheat.zip (already unzipped the first .zip and left the cheat.zip file) and still Mame OS X doesn't read or allow cheat option even though its enabled in the preferences. Dave can these two things be fixed? Thanks

This was a baseline MAME change. A large number of clones had expanded filenames to allow better identification and expanded detail in the setname. The previous 8 letter restriction was becoming very difficult to handle. Most people didn't notice because their auditing tool did the renaming for them.

Your best bet is to change them as you need them or find some sort of auditing tool to assist you.

Personally, I think it'd be nice if there were some sort of aliasing system such that you can define your own subtitute ROM names, and thus continue using the old names, but that'd be a bit much to ask.

Any plans on getting that re-enabled? Or is there a way I can re-enable it myself? Besides Killer Instinct, I can also confirm that Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future is running very slowly as well. (around 50% speed)
